Audioquest Type 4 (1 Foot)

AudioQuest Type 4 SST Hyperlitz uses two solid 20 awg (0.52 sq.mm) and two 17 awg (1.02 sq mm) LGC conductors. One of each size used together makes 15 awg (1.56 sq.mm). Available in Blue (UL/CL-3), this finely tuned "4" design maximizes the amount of metal which can be used in a four conductor cable. If the 20 awg conductor was larger, skin-effect would smear the high frequencies; if the 20 awg were smaller, the character flaws of the 21 and 17 awg conductors would be heard as two flaws instead of working together as the 20 and 17 awg conductors do to minimize any such awareness (SST). If the 17 awg conductor were smaller, the cable would lose some "authority." If the 17 awg were larger, the 20 and 16 awg conductors would lose their SST advantage.

Smart Tips

• Bulk speaker cable sold by the foot
  
• SST (Spread Spectrum Technology), an AudioQuest cable innovation, significantly reduces distortion by using a precise combination of different size conductors. SST has enabled Type 4 to be the biggest possible four conductor cable that avoids audible skin-effect.
  
• Metal: Type 2's LGC (Long Grain Copper) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper.
  
• Type 4 cable is UL / CL3 certified for in-wall use. Its combination of economical price and great performance makes it ideal for multi-room systems.
  
• AudioQuest offers a wide range of high quality connectors that allow Type 2 to be securely attached to any type of equipment.
